First things first! The old reception area (up one level across from the Medic Bay, above the Craftbook Help Centre) has been transformed into an Inter-world Connection Hub! This means that from there, you can get to the Nether, Skylands and Creative (see below) worlds, and once 1.8 comes, PvP and Adventure Worlds! Simple walk inside the openings and you'll be transported to the relevant world.
Creative World!
We have a creative world now with a separate inventory from the SMP world, you can get there via the Connection Hub. Only Veterans can build in this world as an anti-griefing measure Have fun!
After a detailed and lengthy discussion, we decided to release the Creative World now, before 1.8 comes out, as it should be relatively easy to transfer it over to the new mode if it becomes available for multiplayer. We also opted to go for a flat world with an initial height of 18, with dirt and stone underneath for 15 layers (you can see the distribution if you leave the spawn building in the creative world), we did this for a number of reasons, the most deterministic of which are as follows:
First of all it will allow the creation of very large and tall structures without the need to block-by-block remove a chunk of land and do a lot of terraforming around the area (much like we had to do when we moved the spacestation from another part of the map
) We want you to be able to start being creative from the get-go! (If you want a flaming skull fortress in the side of a mountain with lava dripping from its eyes, then make the mountain! - it can be hollow right?)Secondly, we'd want to wait for 1.8 for the new terrain generator if we did it as a normal world
Furthermore, Its a creative world, everything there that you see will be created by KoolSource community, see a lovely mountain? Someone made that =D!

/ch [channel] - Set your chat focus to the specified channel (/ch G = Global chat)
